WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“The less educated you are, the more he likes you.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Bosses preferring employees with lower educational backgrounds

In some small and medium-sized enterprises or among self-made entrepreneurs (such as nouveau riche business owners or traditional factory managers), bosses who lack higher education themselves may feel guarded against highly educated workers, or believe that employees with lower credentials are easier to manage and have fewer demands.
